Challenges and Opportunities of an Aging Population

Completed

Topics

In the United States, by the year 2035, one in five people are expected to be age 65 or older. How will this growing number of elderly citizens impact society? What are the implications for policy makers and businesses? With this particular meeting, GUIRR members will consider the challenges of an aging population, but also ways to turn our aging demographics into positive opportunities and a competitive advantage for the nation. The focus of this meeting was on policy, strategy (i.e., public-private partnerships), and technology that can and will drive future innovations.
